Famous quotes by Jon Thomas:

"I started off when Austin was party central. There is so much happening at (college) age, developmentally speaking ... I had no idea about a neurological disorder called ADD. I was set up to fail."
"(People with ADD) need constant variability. There are gifts to that. When people find a niche, in a career or calling, they flourish."
"We're delighted that eight board members wanted us. However, given the circumstances and contractual difficulties of that project, we'll have to decline."
